Baker was waived by the Chiefs on Sunday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker's career has been hampered by injuries each of the last two seasons, possibly limiting the potential of the 2019 first-round selection. He'd fallen down the Chiefs' positional depth chart following the selection of three cornerbacks in the 2022 Draft and the addition of Lonnie Johnson.

Baker signed an exclusive-rights tender with the Chiefs on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker recorded 16 tackles and one pass defended over eight games as a rotational cornerback during the 2021 season. The 2019 first-round pick for the Giants has struggled with injuries, playing just 10 games since joining the team in November of 2020. Baker should continue to serve a minor role in the Chiefs' secondary while also contributing via special teams.

Baker suffered the serve injury while appearing in just his second game with the Chiefs, while handling an expanded defensive role due to the team's decision to sit multiple starters Week 17. The 2019 first-round pick is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but if he managed to impress in limited time with Kansas City the team could opt to invest in his future as a developmental project.

Baker is officially listed as out with a leg injury.

EDGE Analysis

The State Attorney has, in turn, charged William Dean, an attorney for three of Baker's four alleged victims, with extortion for allegedly demanding Baker pay each client $266,000 in exchange for withdrawing their testimony against Baker. This case is complicated, but for the time being, Baker is off the hook for his May arrest for armed robbery. The league may still discipline Baker.
